Floating

Defy gravity! Create an illusion of “floating” people and objects by capturing motions in mid-air.

Steps:

Step 1:
Get your props ready, and remember to change your camera setting to “continuous shooting” so that you can capture the entire jump sequence.
Step 2:
Jump up, but maintain a calm posture. Try techniques such as tilting your feet upwards or keeping your arms close to the body. One thing to avoid is blurry legs, so set your shutter speed to be at least 1/250 seconds.
Step 3:
Have fun and be creative! Try different postures and environment, and have fun capturing that perfect frozen motion.

Tips: With Nikon 1’s ultra fast auto-focusing and continuous shooting capabilities, you will be able to capture crystal-clear floating shots for the entire jump sequence, so finding the perfect image will be a click.

Planking

Be part of the planking phenomenon, where images of people lying face down on the ground in unusual locations.

Steps:

Step 1:
Choose an unique location to plank. An interesting environment is the key to a successful planking shot.
Step 2:
Lie face down and keep your body as flat as possible. Be sure to keep your arms by your side and legs straight.
Step 3:
Remember, it doesn’t just have to be ground! Where will your imagination take you?

Tips: With a single press of the shutter button, the Smart Photo Selector feature of Nikon 1 can help you select the best image of 20 shots (saving 5 shots for later review), ensuring you will capture that perfect planking photo hassle-free.

Creative Motion

Let your creativity run wild. In the Creative Motion category, there are no limits! Seize the moment and take unforgettable shots of extraordinary motion.

Steps:

Step 1:
Capturing the perfect motion shot requires a bit of planning and a bit of luck. Try different camera settings (e.g. faster or slower shutter speeds) to see what works best.
Step 2:
Think how you can interact with the background as well.
Step 3:
Good luck and don’t forget to submit your works of art to the Motion Hero Contest!
